Here is a crafty idea, we are itching for a bike ride.But tomorrow morning is very cold, we are recovering from colds.So we can walk to the local cafe via the cycling/walking track that runs beside the creek we normally ride on .

Only it is a boring 2 KM walk on the road to get from here to the track. The a boring 2 KM walk on the road to get from the track back to here.The walk will be too long overall.So I might drive to the beginning of the track, then we have a very nice 2km walk off the road by a creek to the cafe and a very nice 2km walk off the road by a creek to the car on the way back.

Now there is using my noggin.

OK, time to walk!

A hammer in each hand held up close to the head would do.

I have not taken my bike out the garage for ages, will have to do that. 20 minutes 3-4 times a week plus walking the dog should meet my exercise needs. I will NEVER be an exercise fiend. Might walk the Torrens Linear Park once more (in 6-7Km stages, 12–14Km walks out and back) assuming the bitch (my terrier bitch ) is up for it, getting on for 12 now.

Heh, I remember after my hip replacement operation, being told I need to exercise, took dog to TLP starting at Henley Beach, did 6Km each way and felt good. Some days later intending to do the second stage—didn’t get very far at all, 1Km I think or even less but after that I was good, 6-7Km each way again.

Hmmm need to get some more Caltrate+VitD tablets, will do the 2Km walk to Chemist Warehouse and back today. (I was diagnosed with a slight osteoporosis problem. Were it not for walking it would be a much more serious problem I reckon!)

I find free weights very good.Very light ones, move them slowly with focus on form.Dumbells about 3 kgs in total. Light gloves are good. You will not do any injury with moving 3kgs slowly.

I studied body building a while ago. Free weights are very good, light ones with a focus on form are the beginning stages.With poor form injuries will come. With a heavy weight you cannot maintain good form.

If you can do 8 actions with good form, slowly, breathing, squeeze muscle at the contraction, you'll be mentally focused.The endorphins are all yours.

[quote="HBS Guy"]I bet you do.

You still doing sprinting, Sprinty? Keep it up, life enhancing.

They find too that walking is good for your brain, wards off dementia!

yes, a walk like that will be 100% better than no walk.It does not sound a lot, the benefit is great though.

We go for very social rides to one of local cafes.Round trip of anywhere from 5 - 16 kms. It's not a lot especially the speed we do it at. We have not done it for months due to illnesses and we miss it a lot.

In the broader of the two studies, researchers with the National Cancer Institute, Harvard University and other institutions gathered and pooled data about people’s exercise habits from six large, ongoing health surveys, winding up with information about more than 661,000 adults, most of them middle-aged.

Using this data, the researchers stratified the adults by their weekly exercise time, from those who did not exercise at all to those who worked out for 10 times the current recommendations or more (meaning that they exercised moderately for 25 hours per week or more).

Then they compared 14 years’ worth of death records for the group.

They found that, unsurprisingly, the people who did not exercise at all were at the highest risk of early death.

But those who exercised a little, not meeting the recommendations but doing something, lowered their risk of premature death by 20 percent.

Those who met the guidelines precisely, completing 150 minutes per week of moderate exercise, enjoyed greater longevity benefits and 31 percent less risk of dying during the 14-year period compared with those who never exercised.

The sweet spot for exercise benefits, however, came among those who tripled the recommended level of exercise, working out moderately, mostly by walking, for 450 minutes per week, or a little more than an hour per day. Those people were 39 percent less likely to die prematurely than people who never exercised.

At that point, the benefits plateaued, the researchers found, but they never significantly declined. Those few individuals engaging in 10 times or more the recommended exercise dose gained about the same reduction in mortality risk as people who simply met the guidelines.

So, sitting 18 hours a day behind a keyboard is not life enhancing, especially when your diet is TV dinners and pizza. I *did* tell IQ I would outlive him Proof positive now

Interesting thanks.is this a daily 'activity'' ?

Did I mention I just had a King William Boost Juice, cheese tomato and onion toasted sandwich, cappuchino and a chocolate donut from Donut King both of whom Boost Juice and Donut King I have loyalty cards. Do you think I should sign up for The Biggest Loser?

And he's lucky they take orders over the internet - they don't serve cretinous dickheads in their stores Shouldn't really joke about it but I reckon he's the type to run off, join Islamic State and blow himself up (though he'd probably phuk that up as well)
